Thus far we've been mostly talking about the whole switch panel, but for those who are feeling slightly more adventurous (and want to save on postage) the switch itself is easily removed. Once the panel is out and unplugged, you'll see two little levers on the back of the switch. Pull these away from the edge of the switch while maintaining light pressure on the front of the switch and it will pop out of the panel



By the way, to unplug the connector I would recommend levering the two tangs off with a small flat screwdriver, rather than just pulling it. The connector tangs are rather stronger than the tabs holding the switch together, so pulling on it presents a significant chance of tearing the switch in half!

Good point there MJ, I remember having that apart for some reason ages ago.
I'll probably do that anyway, my mounting panel is in reasonable condition and I'll just clean it up myself.
(MOT booked for next Tuesday so I probably won't post it until after that)

Yes, its cheaper to post it with the plasic shroud removed, I just didn't want anyone to break locking tabs or cause any other damage when removing it so i didn't mention it

Yes. 22yr old plastic tabs can be a little brittle and fall apart without even touching them

Neil and Architex have disappeared from the list. Is that intentional? I know they’re the same person, but both versions have gone!
